Thanks Rick..
Even though the plans don't call for it, I'm assuming I should go ahead
and torque them down now.
Thanks,
Phil

Yup....drill out the amount needed to bring it into balance. Adding it
in is a little tougher, but easily done casting some lead sheet to go
under the attach bolts.

Subject: Elevator Counterbalance
I've reached the point of trimming the counterbalance weights for the
elevators.
Without having a chance to balance the elevators first, trimming these
weights make me a bit nervous. It seems like there is the possibility
that Vans estimates could allow for too much removal.
If I trim the weights as the plans describe, is there still more than
enough lead remaining to balance the control surfaces later?
If so, what's the process for removing the lead from a counterbalance
weight that's already in place? A drill?
Thanks,
Phil
